Cadence library and cell views

Pyroblast

Hi guys,

I have a question regarding the hierarchy of cells.

Image that you have a library and inside that library you have several cells in which, two or three, lets say, are like top cells and then you have a bunch of other cells that are inside (with their respective symbol) of the top cell, and inside of some of this cells you have other cells (don't forget, all of them inside the same library), that is: Cell1, Cell2, Cell3 are top cells. Then you have Cell 1.1, Cell 1.2, Cell3.1. So inside Cell 1 you have Cell 1.1 and 1.2 and inside of cell3 you have cell3.1 and so on.

By chance, Cadence has any tool to show you in some way (like a tree structure or just a file with some pointers/paths) which cell is the top and then their childs?

Regards.

    That's a pretty open-ended question. There's the documentation of course, looking at <ICinstDir>/tools/bin/cdnshelp. You might also want to look at and look at Resources->Rapid Adoption Kits->Custom IC and Signoff - there's a very large number of workshops and tutorials to help you get started in a lots of areas. Plus there are videos in the video library (also under Resources).

    Regards,
